It's been a long time, and it was in another country anyway, since I was any sort of student.
Is the implied stupidity a particularly American thing? Or are the concerned teachers trying to prevent horror-movie stupidity (I'll just go down this dark alley to find out what made that strange noise).
Problem: while so much of the publicity does suggest it's up to the women to change their behaviour, it's a bit too easy to forget that, when a pattern of crime emerges, there are people out there who already don't follow the rules.
So the sort of stuff put about at the start of an academic year ought to be distinct from incident-specific stuff. But it doesn't sound like it is.
